Yisrael got to hold a special torch (the older boys got real torches, but the Yeshiva got special flashlight torches for the little kids to hold)- and he was very good about giving his siblings a chance to hold it!
We all got home exhausted and everyone collapsed in bed- except for Bentzi and I- we headed back to Yeshiva to partake in a beautiful Seudas Mitzvah- which I really enjoyed!
May we all be zoche to feel the beauty and Simcha of Torah in our lives constantly!
(The donor of the Sefer Torah is a yungerman from the Yeshiva- a very special person. He actually used to be a hedge fund manager on Wall Street, but had the strength of character which most people don't possess- he was very successful at a relatively young age, and he realized that he had made "enough" and called it quits- he made Aliyah with his wife and 4 kids and has been learning ever since! He was a wealthy successful businessman who "had it all", but left it in order to pursue the ultimate treasure- Torah! Quite an inspiration! It helps us appreciate what we B"H have in our lives- כי יקרה היא מפנינים!)
